Las recurrentes metafísicas de la ley universal (Da Capo)

   La neurociencia afectiva muestra que las congregaciones humanas son fuentes de opiáceos internos para el individuo. Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus, dice el viejo dogma de la Iglesia Católica, fuera de la Iglesia no hay salvación, o salud, u opio. La misma Iglesia se encargó siempre de que el adagio se cumpliera al pie de la letra, quitando la salud a cualquiera que la contradijera. El grupo es sacrosanto, cualquier mono lo sabe, pero no el grupo rival. Naciones e Iglesias ceden hoy bajo el peso de las comunidades virtuales en nuestra nueva Edad Media. Estas luchas de poder entre señores feudales (corporaciones) y reyes (naciones) son mediadas por la nueva Ecclesia Cibernáutica que tiene la última palabra sobre masallases al controlar la memoria colectiva. Agotado por las recurrentes metafísicas de la ley universal, echo de menos una vida mejor que nunca hubo, una Atenas que no mate o exilie por no creer en los dioses, un mundo capaz de vivir sin la superstición del dinero, un grupo de hombres libres que encienda fuegos inextinguibles frotando su voz en la poesía.

Limen et Continuum

  Existence is Encounter. Meeting at the limen. In the limen, the masks disappear, that is, the basic intuitions of identities, such as the identity that I feel and think in relation to the tree that I see in front of me. The identity of the tree is a projection of mine: the unity of my process of perceiving the tree generates a mask in me, the ghost of a limited unity separated from everything else. The simplest form of intuitive understanding of masks and limen is given to us by numbers. Numbers intuitively express the liminal tension that is Existence. A little etymological note. Rythmos in Greek means flow. Arythmos (number) is what does not flow, what remains solidified. Numbers express the liminoid, and flow, rhythm, expresses the liminal. A rhythm becomes liminoid when we can trace patterns in it, that is, when we can construct masks of identities. Mathematics has spoken of flow using the Latin word “continuum”, the continuous. All modern science, since Leibni...

Ritual, Scientific Experiment and Truth

 Human rituals have their roots in animal behavior, and the animal pattern has its roots in the need for repetition of living organisms, in the cyclical structure of physiological actions. At the human level, ritual behavior involves a delimitation of space and time, as well as a different meaning of both with respect to the spaces and times of everyday experience. From the ritual ceremonies of cold societies, we observe the care and thoroughness of the shaman to determine with precision the spaces, times and elements that intervene in the rite. Sacred space delimits the world, not only as a place of action, but also the scope of meaning of the things contained in that space. It is a space loaded with meaning: there is an order in things. Time itself acquires its meaning in relation to this order of things, and cyclically closes the space in the “tempo” of the rite, a tempo that is a symbol of the tempo of the World. What is not in the rite or is not referable to the rite has no re...

Metalanguages are formal metaphors

  In a logic class, the professor tells his students: "Yesterday, while talking with my Sufi gardener about happiness, we ended up talking about metalanguages, because he said that orchids are 'chambers where light plays between amorous encounters.' I told him: 'You have to be a poet to talk about poetry.' He replied: 'You just have to be human.'" In what way can we say that my gardener is proposing that every metalanguage is a formalized metaphor for its object language and what would be the metaphor for arithmetical addition? Furthermore” -he asks-how does this little narrative show that Kurt Gödel was a Platonist? One student answers: “The gardener uses orchids as a metaphor for biological reproduction, and from this he makes a second-order metaphor at the human level, calling reproduction a loving encounter. The gardener is a Sufi; in Sufi ontology, the word 'encounter' is used as equivalent to 'existence,' a double meaning (Wujud)....
